What is the life cycle of a stainless steel water bottle?
Posted 10.12.2012
This is a great article that was in the New York Times a few years ago talking about how a stainless steel water bottle is produced and each of its environmental impacts along the way. It goes through Extraction, Processing, Manufacturing, Distribution, Use, and Disposal. The conclusion at the end of the article talks about how after multiple uses the stainless steel water bottle is far better for the environment, even though it is more energy and resource intensive initially.
